SPOILERS

I think my soul just died before the new year. My lord, I try not to rant too hard on author’s works because they are someone’s blood sweat and tears, but this book was just not good. 

You meet the characters and honestly, none of them are people I’m invested in or want to root for. They don’t have any redeeming qualities about them. I got to the 60% of my audiobook and called it. Like after Ben kissed Mimi and then later he reveals he was listing after her mother?! I just could not continue that weirded me out more than any bloody gore ever could. I was just so uncomfortable. 

I just can’t with this book.

Foley does it again! It is another super good read for me. Do I think things wrapped up a little too nicely in the end? Yes, but I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. 
Def check trigger/content warnings tho

I loved the book! 
Very fast-paced. I loved how you could read the character's different perspectives and how they were feeling—slowly discovering the truth! 
And so many plot twists! 100% recommendable for a mysterious, fast-paced book!
